A well written beginning. It could go anywhere! Is it machine oil making his face greasy, or is it from food? Fantasy or scifi? Does he know he’s a new soul or doesn’t he? I wouldn’t even know where to take this story. The possibilities are endless!

A wild ride in a busy street. There is a lot said in the details, the scrawny and filthy but happy boy, the ‘seeing’ peddlers, the atmosphere of the outdoor market.. and that soul.

Weird. But interesting. :D Seems like there’s a lot more that needs explaining.
